Description
Metadata.DATE was always somewhat ambiguous, but during the consolidation in TIKA-930 it was incorrectly assumed that most parsers used it as a creation date.
Metadata.DATE needs to instead be part of the TikaCoreProperties.MODIFIED composite property.
This is fixed in r1367249.
We may want to include this in any fix release as mentioned in
TIKA-962so holding off on resolving the issue.
